PoIyramv Must Go.

The bill passed by the house OF
Representatives few days ago is the
most radical and stringent measure
yet brought forward for the suppress
sion of polygamy in Utah, and the
most radical of its provisions are those
designated to break the power of the
Mormon church.
The bill annuls all legislative acts of
the territory of Utah and the state of
Desert incorporating, continuing,
or providing for the corporation known
as the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat
ter Day Saints" and also all similar
legislation in behalf of "the Perpetual
Emigration Fund Company, which
is a sort of an annex to the Church
and intended to extend its member
ship. 1t then makes it the duty of
the Attorney General of the United
States to move in the supreme court
of Utah 10 dissolve these corporations
and "pay the debts and to dispose of
tie property and assets thereof &C
cording to the law and equity"
If the Mormon power were purely
ecclesiastic, if it were exercised only
for religious ends, and in conformity
with the laws of the United States,
there would be no desire or need on
the part of Congress to lntefere with
it, nor could there be any justification
for such interference. But it is a case
of civil and religious power-a union
of church and state-which is contra
~ to fundamental principle of our
Government. Iii power used con-
trary to the laws of the United States,
and to extend and continue practice
which is crime by the laws of the
United States.
There is nothing in the bill to re.
strain the freedom of the Mormon
worship or the maintenance of law.
fully organized Mormon Church. i
the adherents of that faith want tc
believe in polygamy, or even to preach
it, they are free to do so. That is {
matter of belief. But they cannot
practice polygamy with IMMUNITY, fol
that is crime punishable by law.

The Bulgarian Question.

The reports that a conference of
powers on the Bulgarian question is
about to be held are unfounded, says
st. Petersburg dispatch. Russia is
awaiting the resignation of the Bull
garian regents. When that comes a
provisional government, which will be
recognized by all the powers, will be
established, and Russia will adopt q
conciliatory course and propose can
didate for the Bulgarian throne Other
than the Prince of Mingrelia. Not
withstanding Prince Bismark's declar'
alton in the Reichstag, it is believed
that Germany is not indifferent to the
affairs of Bulgaria. Prince Bismarks
reference to Bulgaria is supposed to
have been made with the view OF
warning Austria not to count upon
German support, and of encouraging
Russia to take energetic steps toward
a settlement in Bulgaria favorable tc
her own interests. Such a Russian
policy, it is thought, would probably
not be resisted at the beginning, but
later Austria-Hungary and England
would be unable to remain passive,
and a conflict would ensue which
would weaken Germany's neighbors
and afford Prince Bismark an oppor.
tunity to advance German interests
Russia, therefore, must be cautious
and not be led away merely to serve
Germany's interests.
Prime Minister Depretis, of Italy,
advises the Bulgarian deputation to
avoid giving offences to Russia, but
said he must abstain from counseling
them about Bulgaria's difficulties,
which could all be easily surmounted
by the exercise of prudence and en-
deavoring to abide by the terms OF
existing treaties.

A labor movement is on foot in
Maine that promises to make Henry
George figure in State politics. The
district assembly of the Knights OF
Labor, as the outcome of their long
continued discussions, appealed to
George, who outlined for them the or
ganization of political party. They
have adopted his suggestion. Mean
while the Portland assemblies have
organized a land and labor club with
headquarters at Portland, with Sc
cret list of pledged voters who can be
relied On for a George ballot when
called for. 1t is hardly probable,
however, that the large farming pop
ulation of Maine will take very kind
ly to Henry Georges land and labor
scheme, though the brick masons and
boot and shoe men will see no special
objection. The Knights claim to
number one-fifth of the population,
and they are sanguine of making a
fusion with the anti-Republican pro-
hibitionists and controlling the cleo
toral vote in 1888. But 10000 is
much nearer their numbers in Maine
than 125, 1000, and such a fusion as
they suggest is very improbable. Two
newspapers, the Rockland Leader and
Lewiston Advertiser, have already es-
poused the new movement, and the
developments have thrown the poll
ticians in futter of apprehension.

The SENATE AND THE INTERSTATE
COMMERCE. BLL.-The action of the
Senate in passing the interstate COM
merce bill is what was expected, al
though the majority in its favor was
considerably larger than was anticipat-
ed. That such bill should receive a
vote of forty-three in the affirmative to
fifteen in the negative, after the long
and very able arguments which were
made against it, shows one of two things
either that the Senators were strong
headed and obstinate. or else that they
were convinced that the measure, even
though not perfect in all it's details, was
demanded by public sentiment and es-
sential to the public good. This we
believe to have been the case. The re-
cent decisions of the supreme court have
established the fact that when trans
portatiOn passes the boundary of state
it is out of reach of any state control.
1t would be intolerable that all business
interests should be dependent, so far as
this kind of traffic is concerned, upon
the caprice or greed of corporations.
National legislation was inevitable, IN
der these circumstances, and it comes,
in the bill which has been under consid-
Grafton in the Senate, in form far less
severe than it would have worn had this
measure been defeated.-BostoH Journal.

ment of Agriculture and Labor, I'M

which shall be under the charge of a

nation upon the subject of labor, the
rate of wages, the cost of the produc-
ton of the articles produced, the
earnings of laboring men and women,
the means of promoting their materi-
al, social, intellecy ual and moral pros
perity, and the best means to protect
life and prevent accidents in mines,
workshops, factories and places OF
industry. The secretary is empow-

content which may exist between en-
